MYSTERIOUS EYES
This card used one stamp, the mysterious eyes (sorry, I don't know what company it is from). I used sandpaper to remove the printed images from the cardstock and stamped the eyes onto the white paper core. Other embellishments include vintage trim, velvet ribbon, lace paper, and rhinestone border. Eyes colored with gel pens and Copic markers.

OLD FRIENDS
This scene was done as a challenge to myself to use stamps from my collection that don't have a fine-line realistic look (with the exception of the frog). The source for most of these odd stamps is unknown, and I've never seen anything even remotely like them in a catalog. Sun isClub Stamp and pine tree is Penny Black.

"SUCCESS AT LAST"
One of my favorite subjects for scenic stamping is fantasy/science fiction. I love the little chicken-children and was happy to use them in a scene. This piece was published in the July/August 2007 issue of RubberStampMadness

"WHAT'S FOR DINNER?"
What is for dinner? The fish? The chicken? Who knows?
This scene required the use of vanishing points and a lot of masking. The table was a picnic table with the benches "removed" by putting transparent tape over the inked benches on the rubber stamp. The floor planks and the line on the wall for the hanging herbs were drawn by hand. The chef's basket was originally empty, and I used the masking technique to add the fish. This piece was published in the September/October 2007 issue of RubberStampMadness

Spring themed card
The flower stamp is the only stamp used. I repeated the image over and over on white cardstock, colored each flower, and then colored the background paper dark blue. Alphabet tiles were swiped with blue ink to match the card.
"CHILDRENS' STORIES"
So many books, so little time to read them all.
I found stamps that might fit into a classic story theme and then added an actual quote from each story. The little girl is layered over a vintage Raggedy Ann page.

"This Day Was Starting Out Badly"
Could it get any worse? Volcanoes and dinosaurs! Will they make it to the cave in time?
Lots of stamps were used in creating this scene, as well as lots of masking. Layers and layers of colored pencils and Radiant Pearls were used to get the dark colors.

In honor of my husband's first honey harvest from his new hive, I created this still life featuring a jar of honey.

Scene colored with pencils, Copic markers, and gel pens.

"Barnyard Friends"
This scene is based on a greeting card that had a little girl playing with some goats. I had a little girl stamp, but no goats, so chickens became the new "friends". Most of the stamps are unknown (received in swaps). The little girl is from Enchanted Ink (de Stempelwinkel) and the leafy plant is SEI. This piece is colored using Radiant Pearls, markers, and pencils.
